Thunder roundtable: Where will OKC wind up in the Western Conference playoff race?

Twenty games to go. The Oklahoman's Thunder coverage team of Brett Dawson, Erik Horne and columnist Berry Tramel discuss some of the most glaring questions about the Thunder this week.

Where will the Thunder finish in the Western Conference standings and why?

Dawson: Fifth. The door is wide open for Oklahoma City to make a push into third, but the Thunder's body of work — particularly since Andre Roberson was lost for the season — doesn't suggest it's going to lock in for an extended run. OKC is too unreliable against inferior opponents and has too many games against high-level ones to think that it'll find a level of consistency that it hasn't had all year.
